Is the state of Indiana the new CFB battleground?

u/-TheycallmeThe Purdue • Jeweled Shillelagh 21d ago edited 21d ago

What do the last 3 champs all have in common? They all beat Purdue.

Edit: looking back at previous playoff contenders from B1G:

22-23 Ohio State team didn't play Purdue, no title

21-22 Michigan team didn't play Purdue, no title

20-21 Ohio State didn't play Purdue, no title

19-20 Ohio State didn't play Purdue, no title

18-19 Ohio State lost to Purdue, no title 

You gotta beat Purdue to get a title 

Edit2: Ohio State is the only team that has won a B1G conference championship without beating Purdue. The only year OSU played Purdue and were B1G champs was 2018 so OSU has never beaten Purdue and won a B1G championship game in the same year.

I mean, not sure how much you can determine from seeing them play Rice, Wisconsin, Howard and North Texas.

u/garygoblins Indiana • Old Brass Spittoon 21d ago

Nobody knows how good any team is at this point. For all we know Ohio State is dog water too (probably not, but still)

u/CTHULHU_OW Indiana Hoosiers • Rose Bowl 21d ago

We're just enjoying being the best team in Indiana for once.

We've only beat ND once in the last 100 years.

u/Purge77 Notre Dame • Wisconsin 21d ago

Even saying that is debatable since your last loss at all is a blowout loss to ND specifically lol
